Brass-patterned scales and a distinct yellow center stripe mark the blade of this size 1 Mepps Lusox, a design historically utilized for pike fishing. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure features a detachable lead head finished in yellow with a painted eye. The French-made components, assembled in the USA under product code 0716, include a feathered treble hook dressed in black and yellow to provide a larger profile. Looking at the hardware, you'll see a vibrant red bead positioned between the brass spacers and the feathered tail. This specimen shows a character-rich 3/5 condition, with visible wear on the lead head and blade surfaces from previous use. The textured finish on the blade still provides contrast against the brass backdrop, while the wire form remains straight for reliable rigging.
